With Pizza Cooked in 3 Minutes, Blaze to open at Frandor

LANSING – The newest pizza chain coming to Lansing can have an 11-inch pie ready in three minutes, thanks to an 800-degree oven.

Blaze Pizza is slated to open in the Frandor Shopping Center by the end of June in the former site of Video To Go.

“It’s like the Chipotle of pizza,” said Darla Bowen, marketing director for Northland Investments, which will operate the Lansing location.

The restaurant allows customers to build their own pizzas from roughly 40 ingredients or choose from a menu of nine signature pizzas before they are cooked – and cooked fast – in the 800 degree oven, Bowen said.
